Rocco the dog was saved from the streets of Bulgaria and nursed back to health after an illness caused him to lose all his fur.

When Desislava Stoyanova spotted Rocco being abused by passerby in his sickly state she decided to take matters into her own hands and brought him to a local veterinarian, reported One Green Planet.

Rocco had anemia, mange, and a fungal skin condition among other diseases when he first arrived at the veterinarian. 

After a series of treatments and medications over the course of eight months, Rocco made a full recovery.

Stoyanova posted Rocco's story on her Facebook page Save Me, where she posts photos and stories of stray animals who need a forever home or help with their medical bills.

Through Stoyanova's page Rocco found his new forever home where he has a loving family and another doggy friend to spend his days with!
